BANCROFT WINS.
Barnes Readers and Spoilers
Thrown Out.
DISCUSSION ON THE BOOKS
The wrangle Over Authorities Re-
suits in the Appointment of
New Committee.

There was an atmosphere OF conflict
in the air when the text book conven
ton reconvened at the University yes
terday morning.
The committee appointed to consider
the question of what readers and spell
iers should be adopted had been hard
at work since the adjournment, exam
lining the two readers, Barnes and
Bancroft's, and the two spoilers, Barnes
and Harper's, down to which the con-
test seemed to have narrowed.
At the start, Barnes seemed to haVe e
the advantage; their new readers had
been distributed among the teachers
the Territory, and there was general
a. ouaintance with their merits, while
Bancroft's agent had made his appear
ance upon the scene only recently. A
number of the leading superintendent,
however, worked strenuously in behalf
of Bancroft's, and they were aided by
prominent professors OF this county,
who contended that Bancr0ft's were the
superior works. What the result would
be, however, was uncertain until the
convention was called to order and the
secretary read the following report from
the Committee:
To the Te1t- book Contention:

Mr.. Meser moved for the acceptance
and adoption of the majority report.
| Seconded Mr.. MHser commenced to say
| that perhaps some of the superinten-
dents would feel embarrassed in debat-
| ing the question in the presence of the
agents OF the houses interested, when
| the two agents, Mr.. Adams, of Barnes
| and Mr.. WEIGH, OF Bancroft, arose and
| left the room.
| The chairman called for discussion
on the question. He said he hoped
| there would not be dead calm of
universal sentiment.
Mr.. Reid called for a reading of the
terms offered by the two companies.
| The secretary complied and stated
that Bancroft agreed to enter into a
contract for five years to maintain the
present excellence OF type and binding.

Mr.. Apperly asked il the committee
in what respect Bancroft'S readers were
superior. Mr.. Brim hall said each book
contained points in which it was supe-
rior to the other; but the preponderance
was in favor of Bancroft in price, type,
binding and the general contents.
Mr.. Reid favored Barnes readers,
mainly because of the excellent manner
in which they were graded.
Mr.. Maeser spoke in favor of the Ban
croft, mentioning particularly the vocal
and evolutionary exercises in the books
which did away with the need of special
books on elocution.
DR.. Richards and DR.. Lyons, Occulists,
croft book was palmer and bet
ter for the eyes of children
than Barnes; the table of contents in
the two books showed Bancroft to be
made up of selections from the most
familiar authors; in Barnes they were
| more or less unknown; added to all,
Bancroft's was western work, COM
piled by western men, who understood
our wants better than the eastern.
Mr.. Anderson commended that the
| list of authors in Barnes was equal to
that in Bancroft's. Mr.. Apperly con-
| tended in favor of Barnes. Mr.. Calls
ter gave some reasons why he favored
BancrOft's; his main reason was that
| the difference in the cost to the Terri
tory in five years would be from S12,-
| COO to $l8 900 in favor Of Bancroft's.
Barnes was the larger book, but the
printing was what was called by printers
fat" and Bancroft's contained the
| greater amount of matter. Another
reason was that Bancroft guaranteed to
mail their books to the people direct
at retail rates, should dealers attempt
to advance those rates.
Mr. Wooten said the graduation OF
Barnes was certainly the superior, but
this was the only respect, he thought,
in which superiority existed. He had
tested the strength and endurance OF
the binding of both books, and
found the preference was with Ban
croft's. The general information of the
contents was of q higher grade. Mr.
Chappell spoke warmly in favor oil
Barnes readers, which he said were
more attractive to the children thar
any other he had seen. He read s
number of extracts from Bancro1t's
which he termed inele gancies; and sale
If we could come in contact with tht
learning of the east a little more, i
| would do us no harm.
Mr.. Anderson claimed the estimates
OF the difference in cost between til,
books were too hi0h. He thought i
would not exceed 81 SEQ.

Shamming Seven Minutes.
Fronl the Nep York 1YMle!


A remarkable case of imposture, and OF
capital shrewdness in exposing it. came to
light few days ago at the State prison at
jackson, Mich. A convict named Brott was
sent up in July of last year for three years
for the crime of larceny. Seven months
ago he began to develop symptoms of paral-
ysiS. He would suddenly fail to the
ground while at work, and claimed that he
could not eat for long periods, all of which
ended in his taking to his bed The mus
cles of his face became rigid the ewes fixed,
and he ceased TO eat or speak only as food
was fed him with spoon. He was appar-
emily deaf, and could not see In the mean
time physicians from different parts of the
State while visiting the prison had exam
ined him, aud all pronounced his malady
paralysis
DIR. Williams, the prison physician, a few
days ago, became satisfied that Brott was
feigning all his symptoms, but at the same
time he deemed it nearly impossible for him
to do so. The doctor hit upon novel and
amusing plan by which to expose the i'm
posture. Calling the attendants into the
hospital IN a very matter ot-fact way, he
told them in the presence OF Brott that the
case was a peculiar one, and that the coa-
vict could not live beyond few days any
way, and that day he should proceed 70
chloroform Brott, saw into his skull, and
see what the disease was. The doctor then
left, and very soon Brott began to move,
and, calling the hospital attendant to him,
he told that officer that he had been sham
ming from the start in order to get par
don, and took this course to elicit synpa-
thy in his behalf. Brott was at once routed
ont of bed, and two days later he was at
work in the paint shop and has been there
ever since. DR.. Williams says he has heard
of one similar case in this country, but on y
one
